If I have a normal stabilizer lens, on a Canon EOS Rebel T3, do I just attatch to my standand lens or do I have to buy an actual macro lens?

If you have the standard 18-55mm lens that comes with the T3 then this screws on to the 18-55mm without an adapter.

the macro and the wide angle lens is the same, you just need to unscrew the wide angle from top of the macro to reveal the macro lens.

I bought it to put on my 52mm because it is a 58mm MACRO lens which gives you the best in a short distance shot that you want at least 180 degree view, which you can do with a bit of manual adjustment to your digital. Disclaimer: I am not a professional photographer, but I want to be so I READ! You can take certified tests and actually become someone that can be a consultant but not a professional photographer, a consultant regarding equipment, quantity, what fits what, and how to avoid buying cheap things that do not fit. I just bought the MACRO and put it on a Canon Digital REBEL and it fit fine. Write me back and I will send you pictures taken with 52MM and the same picture taken with a 58MM MACRO fit on to a 52MM, okay? Thanks for the question. I enjoy photography but as I stated, I'm only an enthusiast who reads and experiments which is maybe a great way to learn to be a "consultant" on expensive, collectible equipment for various manufacturers of the digital era, now!

Hello Hugh, It focuses super fast, zooms from wide-angle to super-telephoto, and gets close enough for macro shots. However, this is not a replacement for macro lens. Suggestions for Canon macro lens - Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS or Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L. If you looking for cheaper options - Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM or Canon EF 50mm f/2.5.

Hi Michael, for some reason I've returned this item...Not because of having any trouble! I've decided to but real macro lens instead of using something like that just because of quality of the image with the Nikon macro lenses. Sorry

Just mount the extension tube on camera body then fit your standard zoom lens, and you are good to shot. This is a cheaper alternative to try taking macro shots. After buying a real macro lens I stopped using these extension tubes.

these are add-on to the standard lenses so the lens to which those converters are attached will function the same as it was but shoot macro instead of normal photos

The primary difference between the Canon EF 100 mm f /2.8L IS USM Macro Lens and the Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 USM Macro Lens is the IS. This refers to Image Stabilization. The IS in that lens is good to 4-stops (really probably 2 or 3) meaning it can compensate for the shake in the image from a longer exposure. This is a benefit for macro photography as it allows for a longer exposure with a smaller aperture, allowing for a greater depth of field in your image. You can search for macro photos on Google images and you will notice the small depth of field in most of the photos, which frames the subject well when used correctly, but when it is too small, only a small part of the subject will actually be in focus. Secondarily, the Canon EF 100 mm f /2.8L IS is a "L" or "Luxury" lens. Although partially a marketing gimmick by Canon, this means that the lens will be higher quality, have at least partial weather sealing, have a better outside lens coating, and generally be of higher build quality. As an owner of the less expensive of the two, and having used both, I would recommend buying the cheaper one if you just want to get started in macro photography, and maybe spend some money on extension tubes or a macro flash. If you are still curious about both these lens, I always recommend renting the lens in question before a purchase or going out and finding them in a photography store. I personally use lensrentals.com for my rentals, but there are several excellent renters on the web.

Just make sure your buying the right Canon Mount in this lense, One more thing, It's going to work but just in manul focus mode.There is another Tamron Model that has a Built in focus motor. The Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 Di LD Macro Zoom Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras (Model A17E)A little more expensive but with auto focus built in the lense itselfe.Sorry about my broken english.Regards.

IS = Image Stabilization. A lens with IS can be used to take photos at slower shutter speeds than lenses without IS before camera shake causes the image to become blurry. Usually you need a shutter speed that is 1/FL, where FL=focal length of the lens, to prevent camera shake when handholding this lens (e.g., not mounted to a tripod). So if you had this lens set to 200mm you would normally need a shutter speed of 1/200 or faster (1/320 on a crop sensor body such as a Rebel, 70D, 7D, etc., due to the 1.6X reduced field of view). With the IS version you could shoot 1/100, even 1/50 if you have a steady hand, and get consistently good results. IS = Image Stabilization.

Thank you guys, really appreciate you help. I was in confused state in selecting sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 or tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 macro, but after a week study i have selected this sigma 50-150mm which is exactly in my budget. Once again thank you guys.

Yes. There are actually two macro modes -- one is a "normal" macro mode and a "super" macro mode. The latter allows you to focus to within an inch or so of the lens.

Yes! You screw it off completely! It shows up blurry if you're trying to take normal pictures, but when you angle the camera close to something, its supposed to focus and look zoomed in! Keep trying, or look up info about macro lenses!

Flash has a clip that attaches on the top of the lens. It can be used with Canon 100mm (filter must be removed) or 60mm Macro (filter can be attached) without adaptor but if you want to use it with Canon 180mm Macro (or any other lens) you will need adaptor.

Yes, you have to attach a small metal ring that is self adhesive, the lens sticks to that, I've gotten some great macro photos and when I tell people it was from my iPhone they call me a liar thinking in using a DSLR

This lens is "UN-stabilized" if your camera does not have a built in stabilizer,you cannot use the lens and hold in it your hands too. Your camera must be mounted on a tripod and you must use remote switch or the timer button in order to take a shot. If you fail to do any of the above, all of your shots will be burred. I have one of these lenses and it totally sucks!

You can use these lenses to Canon if the diameter of lens you used is 58 mm. However, these lenses did not go with anti-reflective coating, the quality of images will be little bit less than expectation. Want a perfect quality? Get another one. Want to start macro photos? This is a good start trial!
